A Book of Remembrance

And the servant of the Lord must not strive, but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; and that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of Truth is come, he will guide you into all truth; for he shall not speak of himself: But whatsoever he shall hear; that shall he speak: And he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me; for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the father hath are mine: Therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another; and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of Hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not. And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called the way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those; the wayfaring men, though fools shall not err therein. Then said I, lo, I come in the volume of the book it is written of me. I delight to do thy will, O my God: Yea, thy law is within my heart.
